R. Kelly Places Blame On Ex-Wife Drea Kelly For Being Estranged From His Children
Radar Online has exclusively obtained documents that convicted R&B singer, R. Kelly has placed the fault of his lengthy estrangement from his three children on issues he was having with his ex-wife Dre Kelly as well as his sexual behaviors.
The media outlet is in possession of the psychiatric evaluation report that was submitted to the court by Kelly’s attorney. A doctor held discussions with the Step in the Name of Love artist several times where the two of them spoke about a wide range of topics.
It’s been widely reported over the years that Kelly was abused as a child and he talked about the childhood abuse he had to deal with growing up. Conversations revolved around his prior relationships, and his sexual preferences. The attorneys for Kelly felt that the release of that report to the court would have convinced the judge to grant some leniency to Kelly. Instead, he was hit with a harsh prison term when he ended up being sentenced to 30 years.
The evaluation report shows that during his session, Kelly discussed his relationship with his ex-wife Andrea “Dre” and also spoke about the 3 children they have. The children are all in their 20s now: 24-year-old Joann Kelly, 22-year-old Jaya, and his namesake, 20-year-old Robert Kelly Jr.
He admitted to being estranged from his children due to the problems he had with their mother. They were married from 1996 to 2009.
It was also discovered during those sessions Kelly conceded that his “problematic sexual behaviors” created significant social consequences. He alluded to having an inability to sustain a romantic relationship, not being able to sustain a platonic relationship, and his estrangement from his children.
The report also mentioned that “Mr. Kelly stated that his sexual history related to conflict with his ex-wife of subsequent estrangement from his children.”
Kelly was found guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering by a New York jury last year. He was recently sentenced last month to 30 years in prison.
Kelly is scheduled to go on a separate criminal trial once again in Chicago where he was recently transported.
